I like it, no really I do!

L and I drove by our new house this past weekend to check it out and saw the current occupants moving out. We parked our car conspicuously in front of the house on the other side of the street and began to talk extensively about cutting this, painting that when all of a sudden the owner begins to notice us.

He mouths something at me so I roll down my window. He asked if we need help and I told him we were the new buyers. He begins some small talk, talking about how he owns a few houses in that neighborhood. He says he just bought another one a few streets up that he is going to remodel. As soon as we heard what he said we both thought to ourselves, No! Please, do everyone a favor and DON’T REMODEL any more houses!! But of course I’m civil, well as civil as I can be knowing that this dude is totally lying, but non-the-less I listen to him talk about the schools and the neighborhood blah blah blah..

I cut the conversation off with “Well, we better get going!” and he nods and I gesture and that was it. L and I both look at each other as we drive away and say.. “Gawd I hate to see the next house he buys and fixes up!”

For those who've been listening to me and know the condition this house is in will know that I’ve been ragging on this house a lot. I don’t mean to confuse you all so I thought I would let everyone know that I really like this house. It’s just that I can’t seem to get over how shitty a remodel job this person did. I guess I should be thanking him because it’s allowed me to get into a neighborhood I would other wise not be able to get into. But still, the quality of job this dude did is sub-par for a monkey, really.

So, for the record, I cannot wait to get into this house and give it some lurv, some remodeling lurv!! Once we get done with this house it’ll be really spectacular!
